    I want to try the IE3s and Billies. I think they work well and a good 'bolt on' swap for the stock items. Won't be slammed but should be a fun ride. There is no budget for the car but I just don't want to drop 1500 on coilovers really. Not that I can't but I would rather take the savings and get the M52 swapped in first. Then play with more extreme/better suspension setups.


    I have heard that recommended. I will install, let them settle and then decide. As said I don't want rubbing, I don't want scraping or anything. I want to just be able to drive and enjoy the car.
    I just think that a turbo m52 deserves some nice suspension too. Maybe someday it'll swap out. I don't doubt that IE3s and billies are an upgrade, but man would I love me some KWs. Not for the slammage... that's what GCs are good for.

    I'd really go for a better susp setup on this car if I were you. Although, I'm not sure how finances and priorities all fit in for you.
    Thanks. I enjoy it :)

    Awesome pick up.

    What lens are you using? 70-200 L glass? That bokeh has such a nice look.

    Ok Billy. I'll make sure to wreck the car just for you. I hope you find what you are looking for in life so you won't be so angry and take your anger out on strangers on the internet. Good luck on your search.

    IE3s are 2in and 1.5in. I am skipping coilovers and other spring options that give more drop. Stock E30 is seriously a 4x4 coupe. 2in and 1.5in drop is hardly even a drop at all on an e30! rofl

    otherwise i think its going to be lovely!
    I think Slips look good. Very similar to Azev and Borbet Type A. I think they are supposed to be Rega reps. For the price paid they will be good for right now. The offset, size and width works perfect until I want to switch it up.
